RITZ COOKIES



Ritz Cookies image

These things have been made by my family since before I can remember. Been made by my sibs and I since we were under age 4. Very good family tradition that we've made almost every year for Christmas and sometimes other holidays. Oh, one thing, you CAN NOT sub the generic excuses for Ritz crackers.....they will not be as crunchy, buttery, or good!

CUTE NON-PUMPKIN RITZ JACK O' LANTERN COOKIES



Cute Non-Pumpkin Ritz Jack O' Lantern Cookies image

These are really cute I made them for a Halloween party with the nutter butter ghosts. The original recipe calls for Oreo's or ChipsAhoy which I didn't have in the house so I improvised. Pretty well anything round that tastes good covered in almond bark would be tasty:) This came from a pdf from Kraft I believe.

Time 10m

Yield 1 cookie, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 Ritz crackers
1 1/2 teaspoons peanut butter
1 -2 ounce white chocolate or 1 -2 ounce orange candy melts
orange food coloring, and
red food coloring
food coloring (pens or decorator gel)
green sprinkles

Steps:

  • Sandwich peanut butter between crackers.
  • Melt almond bark.
  • Add 1 drop each of red and yellow food coloring and stir.
  • *** NOTE!= Beware! I have done this in the past with no problems but the most recent batch of almond bark began seizing on me so I had to add solid shortening, melt, and stir. Each brand is different! I used the orange candy melts to avoid this next.
  • Dip crackers let dry on waxed paper-repeat for more.
  • Before they dry I draw 2 curved lines from so they look like this ( ) to make it resemble a pumpkin.
  • While still wet stick a green sprinkle (you could use anything else to make the stem too such as cut gumdrop).
  • Draw jack-o-lantern face on with gel or food coloring pen. Enjoy!
  • Great for the kids!

RITZ CRACKER COOKIES



RITZ CRACKER COOKIES image

Categories     Nut

Yield 36 - 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup walnuts
1 cup dried dates
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 to 1/2 pound Ritz crackers (1 to 2 sleeves of crackers)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place walnuts in bowl of small food processor or chopper and blitz for about 15 seconds, or until ground until small pieces - not into dust or a paste. Add the dates, 1/4 cup at a time, and continue blending until the mixture is finely chopped. (Note: If chopping by hand, chop the dates until they are very fine, pieces no more than 1/8-inch to a side. Finely chop walnut as well.) Place chopped walnuts and dates into a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan and pour the sweetened condensed over them. Stir thoroughly, then turn the heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring frequently to prevent the mixture from scorching. Heat until it comes to a boil. Simmer for about 5 minutes or until the mixture darkens slightly and pulls away from the sides of the pan. (it will no longer be liquid. It will be a thick, gooey, sticky mixture.) Turn off heat. Use a small spatula or spoon to spread the mixture on the crackers. My grandmother places just a dab on each cracker; my mother and I use a heaping mound. It won't affect the baking time. When the crackers are covered, bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the crackers are just slightly more golden brown around the edges. Remove from the oven and place the baking sheet on a cooling rack. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet. To make the glaze, place the 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a large glass measuring cup. Whisk in the cinnamon. Add the milk a little at a time, whisking vigorously. Whisk in the vanilla, and continue whisking until no lumps remain. Drizzle this glaze over the cooled cookies, and let them stand for another few minutes to let the glaze firm up. These keep very well in a covered container. They also can be frozen in a well-sealed container for up to a month.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. This is especially true for the butter, sugar, and flour.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cookies, making them lighter and more tender.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to create crispy edges and a chewy center.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

These Ritz cookies are a classic for a reason. They are simple to make, delicious, and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of these cookies that will disappear in no time. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these Ritz cookies a try. You won't be disappointed.
